Hibiscus Punch

I found some Hibiscus petals at the health food store yesterday. On HealthRecipes I discovered this nice recipe for using the hibiscus petals:

HIBISCUS This is a lovely annual flower with beautiful red flowers, commonly grown in flower gardens or indoor pots. The flowers are not just for ascetic pleasure, but have amazing flavoring qualities. In Africa, Karkade is the name given to a delicious hibiscus punch.
